Re: Help me out

I had an Acer Travelmate, don't remember the model number, and it was good, never any problems with it. Right now I have an Asus M50SV and it is smoking hot. smile

Re: Help me out

Im in retail with a US based office supply store, ACER = Crapola  they are cheap for a reason !  Im told customer service with them is abysmal  , Toshiba , Sony , and Fujitsu are nice brands to go with .   If you can find the laptop you're interested in buying in a store on display , run the Vista experience rating (computer properties) and take note of where it's lowest score/s show you.  I have seen AMD quadcores that run lower scores than my old FX 55 score does.

Re: Help me out

Hrmm, never had a good experience with HP, in or out of the office. Had an HP pc a while ago, will not go back. One time I had to find drivers for one of their office printers and I had to wade through a truly appalling support page. They had a half dozen sets of drivers with no clear descriptive language to differentiate one from another.

Re: Help me out

Let me clarify that this is not an invitation for you all to rant about your expieriences with the brands. Customer support will be handled by pc world, which is good. I NEED to know which is best for gaming and why.
